Voters across Lauren Boebert's sprawling district — covering the Western Slope and as far east and north as Pueblo — say the congresswoman enjoys widespread support.
and say she’s an equal and opposite reaction to progressive liberal voices like those of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The Democratic Party is no stranger to controversy either, they’ll note.
“You could hold a gun to my head and I will never vote for a Democrat,” Ray Langston, of Montrose, said. “A half-assed Republican is always better than a Democrat.” Zirkle speaks with a subtle southern accent, she’s a Dallas native but has lived in Colorado for the past 25 years. She clutches a black JanSport backpack to her chest, a pair of sunglasses and a pair of prescription glasses both sit atop her head. With a wry smile, Zirkle said that Boebert, like Trump, represents a “club” to the political establishment.
Langston said the congresswoman’s remarks mostly amount to a lot of bluster, though. Not only has Boebert alienated Democratic colleagues — she’d only need a few votes from across the aisle to pass a law, he says often — but she’s increasingly unlikely to find cooperation within the Republican Party as well.
